It's common to put people who are already employed through these things when their skills are out of date. You'd much prefer a JS developer than a Fortran or Pascal developer today, right? But many huge corporations have only the

Couldn't agree more. I can't open my coworkers KeyNote presentations because my copy is a year newer. My two year old Macbook Retina Pro black screens half the time it tries to wake up from sleep and yes, I've wiped every sta

I think it is misleading to have a big picture of an iPhone at the top, and talk extensively about selling outside the app store, when that isn't a realistic option for iOS smartphone developers. You are forced to use the App Store for

Hmm, he complains about the awesome bar being coded inefficiently, but I'm on a several year old laptop and the awesome bar is pretty much instant at showing results for me when I type a key. So his evidence is not compelling in my exp

Doesn't seem logical to me. What if you have a white coat, with black trim, with white background. Wouldn't your solution incorrectly remove white from the results?

Just doesn't seem very informed at all. The article claims third party developers will stop writing native apps on the app store because web allows them to avoid paying the app store revenue share. That just doesn't make any sense

The article claims he can trigger the reboot from the device, although that wasn't implemented in the proof of concept.

Matz is the creator of Ruby. If this guy really wanted to play ball, why didn't he just submit PRs for improving the real Ruby's test suite? Instead he just made his own thing, well duh it didn't end up a part of the real Rub

Well, it's not exactly random. If you follow the link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phorkie/ You can see it's the source code for the same sort of paste text online site they are banning all over the

Better support for unified memory sounds interesting. It was always silly doing OpenGL ES on Android and having to deal with so much work copying the right texture atlas into graphics memory which was really just a different part of the mai

SouthWest has never complained when I've asked to deplane early. They just seem to mark it down on a clip board and then are fine with it.

Hmm, can't say I agree. The Peripheral that came out recently was quite good, as good as Neuromancer in my opinion. Felt very real and visceral except for the time travel nonsense which I guess has to be accepted to make a story of it.

Yes, taking over information streams and injecting ads. Ads are where all Google's money comes from to pay for the rest of it all.

Agreed. At least XBMC had "media" in there. If they are going to use such meaningless names, they should just always stick "media software" after the name in all posts or something.

It's unfortunate, but Google pretty much ignores most outside bug reports and a bot marks them obsolete automatically. Rather than improving things, the situation has actually gotten worse and worse over the years and they started addi

Didn't you read the article and watch the video? There is a sinusoidal signal added (i.e. up and down) that matches the rotation of the blades and controls the hinges on the blades. So the signal can be high when the blade is on one si

Ideally, with good encapsulation and individual files keeping to single responsibilities, you would more often get away with just changing implementation and not changing API. Although you could take the size of the change into account to p

That's pretty cool. There are a lot of tools, both public and private at companies kept as trade secrets to do static analysis of code to pin point potential errors, memory leaks, etc.. This is the first analysis I've seen that

It would be nice if the author would include a sample page of where the hyphens are used. We don't know if they are just used for word breaking across lines from a poor ebook or if they are used for joining words. I went to amazon to t

Does not seem correct. The top poster for practicality has some useless thank you posts that provide nothing useful to the reader. StackOverflow even tends to lock questions that just get a lot of useless thank you comments to prevent putti

I think the Aristotle point is a very bad one. People captured in war are flat out inferior to people who won the war or battle. They lost and were enslaved after all. It immediately makes the person arguing for equality have to start falli

Really not happy with the way Chrome is going on these things. As a web developer, sometimes the best thing for my users is an HTTP media file off a non-SSL CDN closest to their home and cacheable by things like Squid stuck in front of them

I think it is pretty obvious D/H would be higher for a comet that has been out a long time and that doesn't really tell us much about if Earth's water came from comets a long time ago since those crashed early. H is a lot lig

Taxis in the SF bay area have always been a joke. The few times I've called them they often say they have no drivers in the area, or they claim they will send the driver but he never shows up, or they send one and it takes an hour. Hai

Southwest WiFi seems to do this, and unlike Delta it is available under 10k feet, gate to gate. Something about satellite based vs. ground station based.

Link seems to go to this comment page rather than the site itself. Maybe you submitted the story wrong.

Kind of lame they weren't allowed to put a loop in. You are just as well off sledding down a hill at what they ended up with.
